Context

The Scientific Symposium “Frontiers in Heritage Science” is not a classic conference.

It will be a high-level event that aims both at presenting some of the greatest outcomes in heritage science to a mixed audience and to help define a high-level research agenda for research organizations, universities, and funding agencies, who will also be represented in the room. We see this event as a unique opportunity to leverage academic support for heritage science, at a turning point in the development of our field of research.

The audience will be mixed, associating scientists and students from the disciplines represented in the sessions with representatives of the various research institutions and universities, and policy makers. Several journalists will also be present.

Instructions for Speakers

Abstracts

We remind those who have not sent us the title and abstract (max. 350 words) of their talk, as well as a short biography (max. 150 words), a portrait and a photo illustrating their work, to submit as soon as possible all missing elements on the dedicated technical website: https://heritagescience.sciencesconf.org

We will only be able to print in the programme the abstracts we have received.

Presentations

Your talk will last 20 minutes, including 4 minutes for questions.

Please organize your contribution in the following way:

• 1/4 of your time on a stimulating review of your research area in its wider contexte citing the contribution of colleagues from your research community and making it accessible to non-specialists
• 1/2 on your personal and collective contribution to heritage research
• 1/4 on perspectives, new developments, and proposals for the future of heritage science, including regarding international cooperation and identification of missing skills.

For your slides, please use a PDF (or PPT) format and choose the 16:9 (widescreen) slide size.

If you have any question regarding your talk, please do not hesitate to contact the chairs of your micro-symposium whose names are listed in the programme.

Presentations and exchanges

The chairs will facilitate exchanges between the panellists and the public.

We advise you to provide the following supporting material:

• 1 slide to introduce your activity in the field of Heritage Science
• 2 slides of contribution on the topic of your round table

For your slides, please use a PDF (or PPT) format.

If you have any question regarding your talk, please do not hesitate to contact the chairs of your round table whose names are listed in the programme.

Instructions for Micro-Symposium and Round-Table Chairs

At the end of the micro-symposium or round-table, the chairs will present a 15-minute perspective (without slides, maximum 5 slides), complementing what the speakers have presented to provide as complete an overview as possible of the outcomes and challenges in each research area. They are invited to present other ideas and, in particular, to report on important results or perspectives that are missing from the presentations of speakers or panelists.

Instructions for Poster Presenters

All posters must be written in English. At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the Symposium and present the poster.
